World-renowned linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky will be giving the keynote address at this October’s Rebellious Media Conference.

A leading critic of the mainstream media, Chomsky is the author of “Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies” and (with Edward Herman) “Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media”.

“Arguably the most important intellectual alive today” [1], Chomsky has written that those wishing to play a meaningful role in influencing public policy must begin with honest inquiry, and education of themselves and others, and that the means to carry out these first steps include “media and publishers who do not bend to state and private power” [2].

Conference co-organiser Milan Rai (Peace News) said: “We’re honoured that Noam Chomsky will be speaking at this October’s Rebellious Media Conference. A conference about radical media without Chomsky would be like Wimbledon without Nadal.”

Nadal is known as the King of Clay, because despite having in later years won significant tournaments on faster surfaces, clay is his favourite surface. Wimbledon on the other hand is played on grass, which is a very fast surface in comparison. In other words, a very uninformed example!
